    Summary
    oxytocin, aspargtocin, mesotocin, and vasopressin activated the receptor
    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    Frog oocytes injected with the AVT receptor-encoding cRNA respond to the application of AVT, but not to its structural and functional counterpart isotocin, by an induction of membrane chloride currents indicating the coupling of the AVT receptor to the inositol phosphate/calcium pathway.
